Pros

The time I have worked at Guide Book Publishing I have learned a lot and grown. It is a medium size business with a small business feel. This is a good company to get a entry level start.They are flexible with you and your time. The people you work with our great, which will make you want to work here for a long period of time.

Cons

You will not make much money here, even when you are with the company for a long time. The only way to stay with this company for a long period of time is to have someone else in your household make a significant amount more than you. You may often times feel unappreciated, overworked, and replaceable. There are no awards or structures of appreciation for anyone other then account executives. The technology they use is outdated, which makes communication difficult between the home office and outside account executives.

Pros

There are many things to like about being an account executive. First off, you create your own scenario of how your work week and paycheck will be. The opportunity is there to be creative in ways to close deals. As long as you show up you will make some sales. If you focus and work hard, you will make lots of sales. You also have support from your manager to help out in any way possible. There is support from a knowledgeable staff at the home office as well. There is a lot to learn so there is a tremendous amount of patience displayed by management. Lastly, you also have a chance to meet lots of good people at the churches that you are stationed at and a lot of the business managers and owners you will be hopefully closing lots of deals with.

Cons

There is required travel but the company does take care of your food and lodging in advance when this happens.
